Europeans want to replace politicians with artificial intelligence
16:55
A study by the Spanish Instituto de Empresa (IE University) showed that more than half of Europeans were in favor of replacing parliamentarians with artificial intelligence (AI). However, not everywhere is enthusiasm for an idea as high.
Spaniards were the most enthusiastic about this idea – 66 percent of respondents supported this idea. Italians showed slightly smaller, but also significant support – 59 percent, and also Estonians – 56 percent.
Poles also supported this solution - 55 percent of citizens of our country replied that the place of politicians in power should be taken by AI. Only 15 percent of the Polish respondents strongly opposed this idea.
In some European countries, the idea has not caught on. In Great Britain, 69 percent of respondents would not like artificial intelligence to legislate instead of parliamentarians. The citizens of the Netherlands and Germany are of a similar opinion, where more than half of the respondents were against taking advantage of AI in politics.
On a global scale, the citizens of China are the most supportive of such a solution – as much as 75 percent of those polled would not mind the greater role of AI in lawmaking. The situation is different in the USA, where 60 percent of respondents are against the solution.
